Should Capcom return to Old School RE theme ? (Now with Poll)

Capcom developed RE4 with a new formula, it was a huge hit and Overall game of the year.Then they developed RE5 with same theme,many were saying that RE4 gameplay was outstanding so will be the gameplay of RE5 as it is following its predecessor gameplay, But the reviews are against them.It has 86 percent average score on Gamerankings.And RE 5 does not carry any chance to win GOTY in any websites because Killzone 2 has better score overall.

So what do you think , should capcom make RE 6 with the formula of RE 4 and RE 5 or bring back Old school gameplay which revolutionized the games at that time as did RE 4 at its time. I think reason that RE 5 could not win much significance is because after RE 4 , many shooters were released.RE 5 is also a shooter but with slow pace.Better Shooter games gave been released than RE 5.For example GeOW 2.

So in my opinion, capcom , besides from great graphics should also focus on gameplay and bring back the Zombies and true single player experience in RE 6 (which will probably come in 2014 or 2015)


Note:I know there is a sticky thread but this is not only about RE 5 but about all RE series.

Character should be able to walk back and forth while shooting, that's for sure. Other than that I love the gameplay, but I wish they would bring the atmostphere from the previous RE games.

Basically, mix up the two formulas for the best.

They should develop a new formula. I do agree though, it's time to bring back the zombies. They add more fear than what they have now. CleanPlayer

No, I'm perfectly fine with the series the way it is. I'm glad it evolved. You could only go so far with the old formula.Skittles_McGee

The current formula is not bad I guess... but it ruined the whole Survival Horror to bits.

So back on topic:

It needs chilling music to make it scary..I mean devil may cry 1 is scarier than RE5 because the castle music was soo friggen creepy. Now that i think of it I want Devil May Cry to go back to a more creepy setting.

Racoon City was awesome... As to the formula, I think they need to blend aspects of both... the newer ones are to action-oriented and lost all sense of fear, atmosphere and foreboding. this definately needs to be brought back.

The original RE formula is far, far more dated than the RE4 formula, I personally like RE5 game play, I'd much prefer a more horror centric atmosphere, along with puzzles. Maybe something like the original RE's puzzles, and atmosphere mixed with the RE5 game play.Im_single

[QUOTE="CleanPlayer"][QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"] Slow moving, easily avoided enemies never scared me a bit. You could reason that Majini and Ganados are more frightening. They still possess the qualities of a zombie in that they will not stop in their mission to kill you, except Ganados and Majini are physically stronger and more dangerous than zombies.Skittles_McGee

Agreed but if you move away from a mechanic that doesn't work, move into one that works in the genre you created... TPS moved out of survival horror, and more into TPS action with horror overtones. A joining of the two would be most beneficial, aspects from both types of gameplay

I WANT MY DAM ATMOSPHERE BACK!!! THe music and surrondings just dont scream horror. It screams geniric american action hero.

[QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"][QUOTE="CleanPlayer"]I find zombies more scary than the Majini or Ganados. They are slow moving, but they do get you. My biggest issue with the Majini is they rush towards and then just slowly walk towards you and you can easily run by them. In the past resident evil games the zombies pratically overwhelmed you. Idk, there really isn't a right answer to this. You either dig the zombies or what they have now. IRevolution_Ali

[QUOTE="Revolution_Ali"][QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"] I could very easily outrun a zombie by walking. The only advantage zombies ever had was that they outnumbered you and you were often in very small spaces, which is just a bad gameplay mechanic.Skittles_McGee

I think they should kill off RE, and start two new IPs

- One similar in atmosphere and gameplay (not necessarily the same controls, camera angles) to old RE

- One similar to RE4 and RE5

Because at this point the plot is just a mess.

I can't vouch for RE5, but RE4 did everything in its power to destroy that feeling.

Leon was made out to be a super hero who, instead of being genuinely frightened of his enemies, made jokes all the way through. Ammo was plentiful so while there were many enemies they could easily be taken down. Enemies seemed to run up to you and then stop, waiting for you to pick them off. It wasn't a struggle at all.

RE4 did everything its power to make LEON seem unstoppable, rather thant he enemy.

[QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"][QUOTE="Revolution_Ali"] But resident evil was something about Real Evils.Majini or Ganados are evils but in that case Locusts are also and Locusts are better than them.And Zombies surpass everyone.It is just natural that you fell more scared seeing zombies not by seeing Locusts,Majini or Ganados,.Similarly you feel more scary seeing ghosts than seeing Dinosaur or Gorillashakanakumono

[QUOTE="hakanakumono"]

[QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"] I don't think it matters what your enemy is. Resident Evil was always about making you feel outnumbered, making you feel like there was no safe place, making you feel like your enemy was unstoppable. I feel the enemies in RE4 and RE5 perfectly fit that job.Skittles_McGee

Losing his confidence? He made a joke as soon as they fled. They only portrayed him as smug and cocky.

They practically stop right in front of you waiting for you to shoot them.

There were other creatures than just zombies and the bosses. Hunters, Lickers, Chimera, ... all sorts of very deadly enemies in RE. Some of the regular enemies were more threatening than any boss fights.

[QUOTE="hakanakumono"]

[QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"] I have to disagree. I remember when Leon first entered the village, triggering the sequence in the house. He was definitely losing his confidence there, it was plainly obvious. Just an example, of course. On top of that, notice that shooting a Ganado didn't make them stop. No mattter how many you killed, they would never retreat. They always kept coming. Nothing would make them stop. Whether or not it was difficult is a relatively moot point. The previous games in the RE series weren't difficult either. Zombies never killed you, bosses did, and even then very rarely.Skittles_McGee

It doesn't prove that he was losing his confidence.

Hunters were a huge threat, what are you talking about? All of them could definitely be threatening. Are you forgetting the fact that if you're on low health hunters will kill you automatically? I rarely died in boss fights, but I've died when faced with plenty of regular enemies.

[QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"] The fact you mentioned he joke when they FLED shows my point. At any rate, as I said, difficulty is a moot point here. I realize there are creatures besides zombies, but none of them were very difficult to kill either. Hunters? Easy to dodge and even more easily defeated. Lickers were cool, I give you that, but hardly a challenge to defeat, especially since you could hear them coming a mile away.Skittles_McGee

Zombies are better at that point than hunters.

Alright.

I don't care where they gowith it but RE 4 was not scary at all. It was awesome but scary? Hardly. In RE 5 Chris is so jacked up on steroids that I would feel more safe with him than 10 police officers. Seriously, broad day light Africa is supose to set up tension? God no, and again, RE 5 is awesome but still. Its basically:

Chris: (in manly voice) Sheva, I'm hurt, get over here and give me some steroids.

Sheva: (injects Chris with steroids)

Chris: Yeah, steroids (in equally burly, dirt filled voice)

Come on, is that scary people? It doesn't help when the levels are so wide open I can just run away or around an enemy.

Seriously, RE5's first trailer made me think we were in for something truly different and chris wasn't nearly as jacked. I was wrong but RE5 is still awesome so I'm not really all that disappointed.

lol I see Chris in a video and i'm like WTF? The guy is huge... if you ran in to this guy, you would literally**** bricks

So true. Like I said, if I had to choose between 10 regular police officers and Chris Refield, I'd pick Chris everytime. This guy could punch a hole in a brick wall and explode a Zombie just by looking at it. So jacked is he.

lol he doesn't suit the RE theme, as he could just destroy everything. I'm psyched to see him and Wesker duke it out, as i'm only up to Ch3 I think

Now vote !!!

Character should be able to walk back and forth while shooting, that's for sure. Other than that I love the gameplay, but I wish they would bring the atmostphere from the previous RE games.

Basically, mix up the two formulas for the best.

I can see it now, Capcom going back to the old RE and it'll end up being holy hell for them the problem with people is they dont know what they want, you sya you want it now but by the time that happens so many more advance games will come out and people will wish resident evil was doing the same thing. People ruined the franchise's gameplay not capcom

Something to know about the new RE: DC coming out.

"Resident Evil: Dark Side Chronicles will be 'very dark', feature improved camera system "What we're looking to do is go back to a 'very dark' style of Resident Evil. 'Dark' is really a key word for this game. It will be shown in horror, in the storyline, in the emotions that the characters go through. (Cavia is) putting a lot of care, a lot of attention into [improving] how the camera system works in a rail-based shooter." - Masachika Kawata, producer"
